At the end of a road that climbs the primordial mountain, you will arrive in this oasis which is the monastery. The monastery, which is of ancient origins, is worth a visit for the small church, buildings, and courtyards. Perched on the side of a mountain, it is in a spectacular location, surrounded by greenery.

4. Castle of the Knights

Take a solid climb up to the castle. When you reach the top, you will be rewarded with a fantastic view of the surroundings. However, please remember that the ascent is recommended to be done in the afternoon and not with flip flops.

It is worth walking the path to the most enchanting beach of the island, it is three kilometers from Livadia, it has wonderful clear blue waters, pebbles inside and out and has a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

6. Taxiarchis Monastery

A classical orthodox style church with a very nice mosaic cobblestone courtyard in front, immersed in an agglomeration of very pleasant traditional houses. It is a place with a special history.

This beach is located in the western part of the island and can be reached comfortably with the bus that leaves from Livadia. The sea is slightly rougher than Livadia but very beautiful. There are also tamarisks around the area where you can stay in the shade.
